The February 2019 summit ended without a deal or agreement between the two world leaders. In September last year, the US Treasury Department said that North Korean state-sponsored hacking groups carried out a range of cyberattacks against American interests to gather illicit funds for its weapons and missile programmes.

Witnesses for today’s hearing include Center for Strategic and International Studies senior advisor Robert R King, The Heritage Foundation senior research fellow Bruce Klingner and Center for Strategic and International Studies senior fellow Dr Sue Mi Terry.

ICO chief meets European Commission transparency VP

The UK’s chief data regulator meets with the European Commission’s Vice President for Values and Transparency in Brussels.

The UK’s Information Commissioner, Elizabeth Denham, has overseen Britain’s adoption of the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation, the most robust framework of its kind in the world, while the European Commission’s Věra Jourová has tabled legislative proposals to ensure transparency in paid political ads.

The pair met in April 2018 to discuss the ICO’s investigation into Facebook’s Cambridge Analytica scandal, which went on to result in a maximum fine for the social media giant.
